Volkswagen has just announced a deal with the Salzgitter steel group to supply low-carbon steel from the end of 2025. What exactly is this so-called green steel?
Salzgitter plans to start producing low-carbon steel on a new Volkswagen production route from the end of 2025, resulting in almost 95% fewer CO2 emissions than at present.
Volkswagen plans to use this low-carbon, non-fossil-fuel steel in major projects such as its upcoming Trinity electric sedan. Last year, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz announced that they too would soon use green steel in the production of their future models.
This type of initiative will help significantly reduce the carbon footprint of these manufacturers, for whom sustainable development and the circular economy are now two key concepts.
